Support for PCIe cards from NetUP (1 Viewer)

[paalkr]

Hi

NetUP seems to have some relay high end and compact DVB-T, DVB-S2 and DVB-C PCIe cards with CI support. Are the cards supported by MediaPortal?

Someone needs to try it
If their drivers are BDA-compliant, then these should be supported by MP

Seems like there are only a beta BDA driver for the DVB-S2 card. Only Linux support (so far) for the SVB-T/C card I will email NetUP and ask if they have plans to support windows for all the PCIe cards.

I have one of the NetUP DVB-S2 tuners. Very expensive. CI will work in TVE 3.5; doesn't work in TVE 3. I think there are probably cheaper options available if you need these sorts of tuners... unless you're looking for the open source driver? That is pretty cool.

Any alternative cards in particular that you would recommend?

Im gonna jump in and recommend TBS cards. I am using 2 6981s and they're rock solid!

Thanks for that recommendation. I will try to find a Norwegian reseller or someone that ships to Norway.

Hmmmm, TBS (Tenow International Ltd.), yet another company that has dropped production of DVB-T cards??? Weird???

Ummm, where are you reading that?
Their DVB-T/T2 tuners have never been listed on their main website (don't ask me why!), but you can see them in their store here.

Hi again mm1352000 and once again, thanks for your reply

So, I guess this is just another example of what I was trying to say in my other post (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/where-have-all-the-digital-tv-tuner-cards-gone.127015/#post-1093808). Why have TBS chosen to hide away their nice standard DVB-T Tuners on a generic sales site, whilst pushing only their more complex (and to my mind) obscure cards on their own site? Looks like a simple phase out plan to me.

Nevertheless, many thanks for guiding me to the BuyDVB site. The TBS6281 may be a possible successor to my trustee AverMedia A188D's, even if they do have a superfluous output on the back plate and are significantly more expensive

I just need to find out if they are at least PCI-e Version 2.0?

Cheers,
Steve.
